Cao Cao thought they were chasing troops again, and was very surprised, saying: "My life is about to end!" Soon the group of troops approached, and everyone recognized that the leader was Cao Ren, and Cao Cao felt a little calmer.
Cao Ren hurriedly went up to greet him and said: "Although I know that the Battle of Chibi has failed, I don't dare to leave too far, so I can only wait here."
Cao Cao suffered a lot along the way. After seeing Cao Ren, he choked up several times and sighed: "We almost couldn't meet each other!"
So he led everyone into Nanjun to rest for a while. Soon Zhang Liao also came and explained Guan Yu's situation. Cao Cao counted the remaining soldiers and horses and found that many people were injured. Cao Cao asked them to have a good rest.
Cao Ren brought drinks to Cao Cao to relieve his boredom, and all the counselors also took their seats at the scene.
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and cried to the sky, very sad.
The counselors said: "The Prime Minister was not timid at all when he fled in such a difficult place. Now that he has entered the city, he has received food, fed the horses, and groomed them. He should be thinking about how to organize his troops and horses to take revenge." , why are you crying so hard!"
Cao Cao said: "I'm crying for Guo Jia! If Guo Jia was here, he would never let me have such a big failure!" After that, he continued to cry and kept calling Guo Jia's name.
All the counselors were very ashamed after hearing this and lowered their heads one after another.
On the second day, Cao Cao called Cao Ren and said: "Now I am going back to Xudu temporarily to collect my troops and prepare to return for revenge. You can protect Nanjun. I have a plan. I will stay here until the critical moment." , don’t open it, you must open it when you need it most, use the above strategy, then Soochow will not dare to do anything to Nanjun."
Cao Ren asked: "Who will guard Hefei and Xiangyang?"
Cao Cao said: "I will rely on you to guard Jingzhou. I sent Xiahou Dun to Xiangyang. Hefei is the most important place. I sent Zhang Liao to guard it. As the chief general, Le Jin and Li Dian are the deputy generals. Things have priorities. Once If anything happens, send someone to report to me as soon as possible!"
After Cao Cao explained some things clearly, he mounted his horse and led everyone back to Xuchang. All the civil and military officials who had surrendered in Jingzhou were also brought to Xudu. Cao Ren sent Cao Hong to guard Yiling and Nanjun to resist Zhou Yu's attack.
After Guan Yu released Cao Cao, he led his troops back. At this time, the other troops robbed many of Cao Cao's horses, equipment, money and food, and returned to Xiakou. Only Guan Yu did not seize anything and returned empty-handed to see Liu Bei.
Kongming saw everyone's fruitful harvest and congratulated Liu Bei. Suddenly a soldier reported that Guan Yu had arrived. Kongming hurriedly left the seat and went out to greet him with a cup. When he saw Guan Yu coming from a distance, he said: "I came out to congratulate the general on his establishment." You have performed extraordinary feats and eliminated great harm to the world, so you should hold a celebration!"
Guan Yu looked at Kong Ming, a little embarrassed, and said nothing. Kong Ming said: "Is it because the general is unhappy because we didn't go far away to greet him?" He quickly turned around and said to his left and right: "Why didn't you tell me about Guan Yu earlier? The general is back and has made him unhappy!"
Guan Yu couldn't stand it any longer and said, "I came here specifically to ask for execution!"
When Guan Yu said this, Kong Ming already knew the outcome, but things were still going to develop, so he pretended to be panicked and said: "Is there something wrong with my strategy? Cao Cao did not lead the defeated soldiers to Huarong Road. What?"
Guan Yu is a real person and said: "Cao Cao did leave from Huarong Road. I also met him, but I didn't have much ability, so he escaped!"
Kong Mingming was very confused and said: "That's not right. Logically speaking, when Cao Cao brings his soldiers and horses to Huarong Road, it is impossible for him to still have fighting power. Even if Cao Cao escapes, you are fully capable of retaining the other soldiers. Why? No one there?"
Guan Yu said: "Yes, I didn't catch anyone!"
Kong Ming turned around and said to the left and right: "Then I understand. General Guan Yu probably missed Cao Cao's kindness to him, so he deliberately let everyone go. But since you have issued a military order, you have to deal with it in accordance with military regulations. !" So the warriors came forward, grabbed Guan Yu, and prepared to drag him out and behead him in public.
Fortunately, Liu Bei actually knew about this, and Kong Ming also had an affair with Liu Bei. When Liu Bei saw Kong Ming preparing to kill Guan Yu, he immediately came out to stop him, knelt down and said, "When we were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, we vowed to live together. We will die together. Although Guan Yu has broken the law now, we cannot break our previous covenant. I hope to give Guan Yu a chance to atone for his sins."
Kong Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Bei up and said: "Since it is my lord who is begging for mercy, I will remember it for you. Next time, I will definitely behead you."
In Shangdang, Yu Yi came out of the Zou family and was thinking about how to train the next generation. Suddenly he heard the voice in the video. He thought it was Jia Xu, but did not expect it to be Kong Ming. He found a remote place to pick up the call and asked: "How about it? Cao Cao should let him go."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "You are really brothers. Both my lord and you know that placing Guan Yu on Huarong Road will definitely let Cao Cao go."
Yu Yi said: "That's necessary. How can we be brothers without this understanding? But didn't you know about this in advance, and that's why you deliberately arranged for Guan Yu to go."
Kong Ming nodded and said: "Yes, your second brother is very arrogant. If you don't use this method, it will be difficult for me to implement my plans in the future."
Yuyi asked: "What are you going to do next?"
He replied: "Jiangdong will definitely send someone over to understand the situation, and they will take this opportunity to further compete with Zhou Yu!"
Yu Yi said: "How can Zhou Yu be your opponent?" When mentioning this question, Yu Yi suddenly remembered the southeast wind that turned into the northwest wind at a critical period, and thought of the mysterious figure Sima Yi, whose corpse was Bing seemed to have something to do with him. Thinking that Kong Ming was well-informed, he asked, "Have you heard of Sima Yi?"
Kong Ming searched his mind, shook his head, and said, "I don't know him at all. What's wrong with this person?"
Yu Yi replied: "I feel that this person will be my biggest opponent in the future!"
Kong Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Is there anyone else who could be your opponent?"
Yu Yi said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing each other, and it is normal to have opponents. Although I don't know this Sima Yi well yet, I feel that he is no less than me in terms of magic and resourcefulness."
Unexpectedly, Yu Yi had such a comment, and Kong Ming's expression became solemn.
Yu Yi said: "I think we still have to be careful. I will also speed up the pace of heading west in the future, and strive to capture Chengdu as soon as possible when you are preparing to enter Sichuan, so as to realize the plan of dividing the world into three parts as soon as possible."
